Your favorite side dish turned soup! This hearty soup recipe is loaded just like your favorite steakhouse — bacon, green onions, sour cream, and of course, cheese.
In a large pot over medium heat, bring vegetable broth, potatoes and just enough water to cover the potatoes to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer.
When potatoes begin to break apart, add milk, ¾ of the bacon, ¾ of the green onions, salt and pepper and continue cooking until the potatoes are completely broken down.
Add 1 ½ cup of the cheese and stir until completely melted.
Serve hot garnished with remaining bacon, green onions, cheese and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
